This day can vary dependingon the week, as it suits you best.Make sure you also plan for the followingday because after your detox day youthen wait for 16 hours before you haveyour next meal the following day.On Detox Day, you have 2 or 3 mealsduring the day (a smoothie for breakfast,a smoothie for lunch and soup in theevening), all provided to you by us. 16hours after your last detox day meal, youthen have your normal meal the nextday. That time delay allows your bodyto get the full effects of the Detox thatyou have done.6S EREN IT Y S PA - DE TOX & WE L L NE S SExample – 3 meal programDinner on the Detox day at 7:00 p.m.as your last meal of that day, then youstart the next day from 11:00 clock with asmoothie, porridge or wholegrain bread.Alternatively if you have dinner on thedetox day at 8:00 pm, then you start thenext day at 12:00 am with the first meal.Example – 2 meal program.You have 2 meals on your detox day(smoothie for breakfast, smoothie for lunch,then nothing more). After your lunch, youthen start counting the 16 hours. After 16hours you have your breakfast the nextday. In this case, you do not prepare thedetox soup on the detox day but insteadyou have it as dinner the next day. Youdont need to wake up at 5am to haveyour breakfast but can instead have itlater at your normal breakfast time ifthat is preferable. I would recommenda porridge or wholemeal bread.Important:Choose one day to detoxify so it is your personal detox day. You then use thefollowing day as your interval fasting day! This will ensure that your body reactsautomatically with autophagy (cell cleansing program). This cellular healthmaintenance process removes everything in the cell that needs to be brokendown. It protects your immune system and a number of diseases. And as a“side effect” you continue to lose weight or keep your weight stable!To increase the effect, you could schedule one or two more fast days duringthe week. For the best results follow the process above and be sure to fast for16 hours without food! Depending on your daily routine it is easier for some toskip dinner and for others it is esaier to have breakfast – the choice is yours!Keep to the exact recipes as much as possible.S ER ENIT Y S PA - DETOX & W ELLNES S7
